Strange Hoarding Play Method in 3.5 Year Old

Something about my son has ALWAYS made me crazy and I was hoping that someone could help me understand the behavior so that it could stop annoying me so much. I have a very normal child twin boy who is a little over 3.5. Ever since I can remember his preferred method of playing with toys is to just make a big pile or to put a "collection" of toys in a bag and carry it around.

6 Month Old Waking Several Times at Night

My 6 month old baby will go to bed with no problems, just put him down and he will fall asleep on his own around 9 PM, the problem is he still wakes up several times a night and the only way to get him back to sleep is to nurse him.

Loss of Sleep

I have a 4 year old daughter that had her tonsils and adnoids taken out a week and half ago. This past weeks she has been very spoiled. She will not stop crying and screaming. I come home from work and she throws a constant fit all night. Im frustrated and I don't know what to do. And I'm very tired from getting up with her all hours of the night. She screams so loud that it wakes up her brother and upsets him as well. I'm afraid her throat will not completely heal with all the screaming. She has never been like this before and I...
